2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian agency working towards #zerohunger.
We help crisis-affected people access nutritious food while empowering communities to grow and access food amidst a changing climate. WFP has traditionally provided life-saving relief food to assist vulnerable populations in the ASALs and refugees. However, with the rising frequency and severity of climate shocks, this approach is no longer sustainable. To build long-term resilience, WFP in Kenya is actively implementing its "changing lives" agenda through diversified and innovative approaches to solutions in close collaboration with the national and county governments and partners. WFP Kenya seeks to provide lifesaving, hunger-reducing and nutrition-sensitive support, integrating the treatment of acute malnutrition with prevention for refugees and in the Arid and Semi-arid lands (ASALs) who are most at risk before, during and in the aftermath of shocks. WFP Kenya has embraced capacity strengthening of national and county systems as the central strategic driver for supporting shock-responsive social protection, safety nets and disaster and climate risk management. WFP in Kenya is in the process of rolling out the differentiated assistance approach to refugee assistance in collaboration with UNHCR and the Department of Refugee Services. This means transitioning from assisting all registered refugee households the same way to one that assists based on needs/vulnerabilities. This shift will ensure beneficiaries receive support tailored to their specific vulnerabilities and needs, ensuring equity, effectiveness, maximizing impact with limited resources, and empowerment. WFP is committed to applying proven approaches that make food systems more climate-resilient, productive, inclusive, equitable, environmentally sustainable, and better able to provide safe, healthy and nutritious diets for all people and communities.

Without nutritious food, children can’t concentrate, learn, or thrive.
Hunger pushes children out of school — but school meals help bring them back, fueling both bodies and minds.
WFP provides technical and operational support to national school meal programmes in 70 countries – reaching at least 100 million children every year.
👩🏾🌾 Home-Grown School Meals do more than fill a plate they:
🍽️ boost attendance
✍️improve nutrition, and
🥗strengthen local food systems by supporting farmers and markets.
Together with governments and partners, the World Food Programme is working to reach more children so they can access the meals they need to learn and pursue their dreams.

🍉 A first for farmers in Dadaab.
This month, farmers harvested watermelons for the very first time since the establishment of water pans that provide water for irrigation.
With support from European Union in Kenya, the World Food Programme has invested in water infrastructure that is helping farmers access reliable water, grow a wider variety of crops, and increase agricultural production.
What was once a challenging environment for farming is now creating new opportunities for refugee and host communities to improve food security, diversify diets, and build more resilient livelihoods.

When countries learn from each other, they strengthen systems that improve people's lives.
Last month, the World Food Programme supported the Government of Kenya to host a delegation from Tanzania and Zanzibar's social protection departments for a peer learning visit focused on strengthening social protection systems. The delegation explored lessons from Kenya's experience in designing and implementing social protection programmes.
